Astro makes websites faster & easier to build
There’s been a lot of hype around Astro in the frontend community, and with good reason! It has a fantastic dev-experience, ships zero-JS by default, and maybe what I love the most about it, it super easy to get started with!
It’s incredibly powerful and you can do some amazing things with it, but unlike some other solutions out there, you don’t need to get knee-deep into all of that before you can start using it. It feels like a very natural progression from vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS, and you can start slow and slowly level up your game with it over time.
In this one, I’m looking more at some of the simple things that you can do to work faster (and hopefully show you how easy it is to do!), rather than a look at starting a project from zero, but if you’d like to see a project where we build it starting from scratch, please do let me now 🙂.
